I will soon have a rather large sum of money.
Somewhere in the region on £800.
Now I am taking my girlfriend to Paris, buying a fridge (possibly the little one from SR) and adopting a loris from London Zoo.
But that leaves me with about £500 at least to spend, if not £600.
So should I get an Xbox?
I already have Splinter Cell on GC and any mulitformat games I would just buy on that.
Should I use some of my money on an box?

It was never really an either/or situation.
It was always an "I'm going to Paris and if I have enough money I'll buy and Xbox and Halo" situation.

Halo's highly overrated and Paris has French people. Though going there with your lady will result in muchos grande nights of passion and stuff....paris not Halo.

Halos poo.

Paris on the other hand.

Wooo!

Go to Mon Matre, the church on the hill.

Called something important, but o la la!

And the islands on the Seine, right in the middle.

I love Paris.

Edgy, there's a word for you.

It's called a spoilsport! :-P

What people say on here probably won't make a blind bit of difference, but hey, why spoilt the fun? :-)

All I wanted was for some more information. I knew about Halo etc but I wanted to know more about future prospects, and everyone was very helpful.

My logic is this:

According to his original question, he has some spare cash lying around and wants to know if he should get an Xbox.

The only way he could truly be sure of a decision is to ask himself, "Do I want an Xbox?"

If so, then get one by all means.

If not, then why did you ask us in the first place.

I personally believe that djerrud will get one. Why? Because this topic suggests keen interest in the console, a symptom of want.

If he wants, and has the money, chances are he'll get.

Heh!

The comments get better as the days go on. Just because he wants advice on a console automatically means that he shouldn't get one? There doesn't seem to be any sense or logic applied to that post at all.
